Emerald Pools during Rainstorms:

One of the most convenient and fun places to take in a rainstorm is the Emerald Pools area. While the Emerald Pools waterfalls are typically barely a trickle during the dryer months, a good rain can quickly bring the waterfalls to life. Take great care when exploring in the rain as the streams may become dangerous and impassible.
